Yesterday I had a brief AIM conversation with my boyhood friend Cody. That was nice. But then I had a weird dream last night that involved hiding in his basement from a tornado. Very weird.
To be honest, I feel like crap. On Friday, I was supposed to have lunch with my dad but I totally forgot about it. I feel bad. And since I got home from work on Friday, I haven't even left my apartment, save for a trip to my mailbox and a trip to the grocery store. I feel lazy. I didn't even accomplish the comparatively simple task of doing laundry like I had planned to today. I'm such a social recluse. I definitely have friends, but they either don't live in this town or have better things to do/people to be with, and on Saturday nights often I am left here by myself in my puny apartment with nothing but Iowa Public Television and (fortunately now) the internet. Oh woe! Oh, and also, one of my friends just got back from Florida and is now working as a sales rep for some evil telecommunications corporation and was just desparately trying to recruit ME for the same nefarious task. What the hell is with everybody???
Some good has come of this weekend, though: I finished the first forty frames (3.3 seconds) of My Name Is Jake 2, and it looks great so far! I'm so proud of myself. I think I may try to get at least one second of animation done every day. That's really not too much to ask, and setting a quota like that can be helpful.
Also, tomorrow is the Cambus holiday party. I expect to have an infamously good time.
